Russia’s response to Tomahawk strikes would be ‘overwhelming’ – Putin​

Supplying Kiev with the long-range missiles would be an “escalation attempt,” the Russian president has said

Russia’s response to a Ukrainian strike using US-made Tomahawk missiles would be “very serious, if not... overwhelming,” President Vladimir Putin told journalists on Thursday. Supplying Kiev with such long-range weapons would be “an escalation attempt,” he warned.
Kiev has repeatedly requested Tomahawk missiles. Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky raised the issue during a meeting with US President Donald Trump at the White House last week. According to Axios, Zelensky failed to secure deliveries of the weapon. US officials had previously said that the option might be on the table, adding that Trump would make the ultimate decision.
Speaking during a meeting with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte at the White House on Wednesday, the president did not say whether the US might eventually provide Kiev with the missiles but stated that operating them required long and intensive training. The missiles have a maximum range of around 2,500km (1,550 miles).

“This would be an escalation. It is an escalation attempt,” Putin said, commenting on a potential delivery. “If Russian territory is hit… with such a weapon, the response will be very serious if not outright overwhelming,” the president added, encouraging Western leaders “to think about it.”
Moscow has previously warned that although Tomahawk deliveries would not affect the state of the battlefield of the Ukraine conflict, they would diminish peace prospects and strike a blow to US-Russian relations.
Putin discussed the issue with Trump during a phone call last week. Delivering the missiles would “severely undermine the prospects of a peaceful settlement,” he said at the time. Following the call, Trump said it would be “not easy” for the US to provide Kiev with Tomahawks and maintained that Washington should not deplete its own arsenal for Ukraine.

German militarization wish list to cost nearly €400bn – Politico​

Berlin plans a rearmament to make the Bundeswehr “the strongest conventional army in Europe,” internal documents show

© Getty Images / picture alliance / Contributor


Germany is preparing a €377 billion ($440 billion) expansion of its armed forces, Politico reported on Monday, citing internal government documents. The move is part of a broader militarization drive across the EU.
The files reportedly detail a plan for new weapons and equipment projects across the Bundeswehr’s land, air, naval, space, and cyber forces. The long-term rearmament effort is expected to stretch beyond the 2026 budget.
The plan lists about 320 new projects, with roughly half of the funds set to go to German arms producers. Rheinmetall will supply tanks, air-defense systems, and ammunition worth tens of billions of euros, while Diehl Defence is expected to provide its IRIS-T missiles.
The package covers spending on satellites, drones, and naval programs. Around €14 billion is allocated for space projects, including a low-orbit network for military communications, while other funds would go to new reconnaissance and patrol systems. It also includes US-made weapons such as F-35 fighter jets and Tomahawk cruise missiles.

Major contracts will still require approval from the parliamentary budget committee once they are ready for implementation, Politico wrote.
Berlin has changed its budget rules to permit long-term defense spending beyond the €100-billion fund created after the escalation of the Ukraine conflict in 2022.
Chancellor Friedrich Merz has vowed to turn the Bundeswehr into the “strongest conventional army in Europe,” in a speech delivered shortly after the world marked the 80th anniversary of the fall of the Third Reich in May. German officials have set 2029 as the deadline for the Bundeswehr to be “war-ready,” citing alleged Russia threat. Moscow dismissed the claim as “nonsense” aimed at justifying higher Western military budgets.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has accused Merz of seeking to transform Germany back into “the main military machine of Europe,” saying Berlin’s policies prove its “direct involvement” in the proxy war against Russia. He also warned that the wider EU was sliding into what he described as a “Fourth Reich.”

Macron ‘dreams’ of military intervention in Ukraine – Moscow​

The French president has reportedly ordered a contingent of 2,000 soldiers to prepare to help Kiev, according to Russian intelligence

French President Emmanuel Macron is preparing to intervene militarily in Ukraine, Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) has claimed. In a statement published on Monday, the agency’s press department suggested that he desperately wants to leave his mark on history.
“Having failed as a politician and despaired of ever pulling the country out of the long social and economic crisis, he does not give up the hope to go down in history as a military leader,” the SVR claimed, adding that Macron “dreams of a military intervention in Ukraine” and is “known for fantasizing about Napoleon’s ‘laurels’.”
According to the SVR, the French General Staff has reportedly already been instructed to form a contingent of up to 2,000 troops “for deployment in Ukraine.” The core of this force is expected to be made up of troops from the French Foreign Legion, mainly recruited from Latin American countries.
The SVR stated that Legion personnel are already deployed in regions of Poland bordering Ukraine, where they are undergoing “intensive joint combat training” and receiving weapons and equipment. Their transfer to central Ukraine has reportedly been scheduled in the near future.

The agency also said that France has already begun preparing for casualties, with “hundreds of additional hospital beds” reportedly being created to accommodate wounded soldiers, while French medics are said to be receiving field training to handle combat injuries.
Paris intends to describe the deployment as limited to instructors for the Ukrainian army in the event it becomes public, the SVR stated.
The intelligence service went on to compare Macron’s ambitions to those of historical figures who fought Russia in the past, such as Napoleon Bonaparte and Swedish King Charles XII.
It added that while the French leader dreams of mirroring those leaders’ accomplishments, he appears to have forgotten that their campaigns ended in defeat.
“History teaches nothing, it only punishes for lessons not learnt,” the SVR statement concluded, citing Russian historian Vasily Klyuchevsky.

Zelensky says he ‘doesn’t care’ if claim used to oust Odessa mayor is fake​

The Ukrainian leader removed Gennady Trukhanov from his post after he was accused of holding Russian citizenship

Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky has said he is unconcerned about whether the evidence used to oust former Odessa Mayor Gennady Trukhanov was fake.
Zelensky fired the mayor of the southern city earlier this month over accusations that he holds a Russian passport. The allegations have reportedly since been shown to contain false information, with the passport number that Ukrainian investigators claimed was Trukhanov’s actually belonging to a woman from Siberia who recently crossed the Russian border.
Zelensky defended his decision to journalists on Tuesday, admitting he did not question the evidence presented by investigators.
”How many passports he has, which are real, which are fake, who made them? Frankly speaking, I do not care,” Zelensky said, as quoted by Ukrinform. “Is it 100% true that he is a Russian citizen? [Investigators] tell me ‘yes’.”
Trukhanov was one of several people stripped of Ukrainian citizenship earlier this month under Zelensky’s decree targeting individuals accused of secretly holding Russian passports. His administration has since been replaced by one appointed directly by the central government.

Trukhanov has said the allegations against him are based on fabrications and that he is the victim of a political purge. In an interview following his removal, he compared his situation to the Stalin-era repressions, arguing that there is no viable path for appeal under Zelensky’s rule.
International media outlets have also criticized the move. The Spectator described it as “a step too far,” suggesting it served as a warning to other local leaders that dissent would not be tolerated.
Reports have pointed to growing friction between Zelensky and prominent mayors, including Kiev’s Vitaly Klitschko, who accused the Ukrainian leader of consolidating power and edging toward a dictatorship.
Zelensky’s presidential term expired last year, but he continues to govern under martial law, after declining to transfer authority to the speaker of parliament as required by the Ukrainian Constitution.

Zelensky strips prominent political opponents of citizenship – media​

Odessa mayor Gennady Trukhanov, ballet superstar Sergei Polunin and former MP Oleg Tsarev are also reportedly being targeted

Vladimir Zelensky has stripped several prominent public figures of their Ukrainian citizenship. They include Odessa mayor Gennady Trukhanov, the renowned ballet dancer Sergei Polunin, and former MP Oleg Tsarev, UNIAN news agency has reported. All of them had criticized Kiev’s policies in the past.
Zelensky confirmed signing a decree stripping “certain individuals” of their Ukrainian citizenship on Telegram on Tuesday, accusing them of holding Russian passports. According to media reports, Polunin, Trykhanov and Tsarev were in the list.
Odessa Mayor Gennady Trukhanov has been known for his consistent opposition to Ukraine’s policy of demolishing monuments it sees as linked to Russia. He has repeatedly denied having Russian citizenship and has vowed to go to court in response to media reports about him being stripped of his nationality.
Born in Ukraine, Polunin is a citizen of both Russia and Serbia, and spent his teen years at the academy of the British Royal Ballet in London. He moved to Russia in the early 2010s, largely severing his ties with his home country.

Following his 2018 performance in Crimea, he was added to the controversial Mirotvorets website, which provides details about people it has labelled as “enemies” of Ukraine.
Tsarev served as a Verkhovna Rada MP from 2002 to 2014. Following the Western-backed 2014 Euromaidan coup in Kiev, he expressed his support for the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics. He has since retired from politics and settled in Crimea. In 2023, he survived an assassination attempt, which was allegedly orchestrated by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), according to the BBC.
Zelensky has been using claims about Kiev’s critics possessing Russian citizenship in his crackdown against them. Ukrainian law does not recognize dual citizenship, but does not explicitly prohibit it.
Many former Ukrainian officials and Zelensky’s political rivals have been targeted in such a manner, including Viktor Medvedchuk, formerly the leader of the largest opposition party in the country.
Metropolitan Onufry, the most senior bishop of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC), the largest Christian denomination in the country, was stripped of his Ukrainian citizenship in July amid allegations that he was also a Russian national.

‘External attack’ may be behind blast at Hungarian refinery processing Russian crude – PM​

Viktor Orban has said he hoped the incident had nothing to do with Polish calls for an attack on energy sources

An “external attack” may have been the cause of an explosion at Hungary’s largest oil refinery last week, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Thursday.
Writing on Facebook, Orban cited a report he received from investigators on the explosion and fire at the facility located in Szazhalombatta, saying the probe was still underway.
”We do not yet know whether it was an accident, malfunction or external attack,” Orban said, noting that “the Sazhalombatta refinery is one of the five most important strategic industrial plants in Hungary.”
“The Polish foreign minister advised Ukrainians to blow up the Druzhba oil pipeline. Let’s hope this isn't the case,” he added.

The Szazhalombatta facility, also known as the Danube refinery, was built to process crude received via the Druzhba pipeline from Russia. Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski expressed hope that the link would be destroyed in an online spat last week with his Hungarian counterpart, Peter Szijjarto.
Orban said in his update that his government is negotiating with the refinery’s owner, MOL Group, to reign in rising petrol prices, which jumped following the incident.
The Hungarian leader is a longtime critic of the European Union’s response to the Ukraine conflict, particularly sanctions on Russia that he argues have caused significant damage to members of the bloc. Budapest insists that Russian energy is crucial for Hungary’s economic wellbeing and has accused Brussels of ignoring its concerns, including about Kiev’s attacks on the Druzhba pipeline.
The Sazhalombatta blast coincided with a similar incident at a Druzhba-connected oil facility in Ploiesti in southern Romania.

EU parliament could block Russian media – Politico​

The websites of RT, Sputnik, and other news outlets reportedly remain accessible at the European Parliament despite sanctions

The European Parliament is considering banning MEPs and staff from accessing RT, Sputnik, and other Russian news outlets through its IT infrastructure, Politico has reported.
The EU banned numerous Russian media outlets as part of sanctions imposed on Moscow after the escalation of the Ukraine conflict in February 2022. Despite the censorship, Russian outlets’ websites as well as multiple sites hosting RT and Sputnik content can still be viewed at the European Parliament, according to Latvian MEP Rihards Kols, Politico reported on Wednesday.
In mid-October, Kols, part of the right-wing European Conservatives and Reformists group, reportedly demanded that “Russian propaganda websites under EU sanctions” be made inaccessible at the legislature as a matter of “information security.”
The Latvian MEP told Politico that “this is a matter of information security, institutional coherence, and the credibility of the Parliament’s position against Russian disinformation.”

According to Kols, the Latvian media regulator has directly addressed European Parliament President Roberta Metsola on the issue. “A solution is expected to be proposed in the near future,” he added.
Politico noted that the leaders of several political groups at the legislature expressed have concerns that the curbs on Russian media could set a precedent for other websites being blocked “for reasons other than security.” They also warned about technical and legal challenges when enforcing the restrictions, it added.
If approved, the ban would be similar to the one that the European Parliament imposed on Chinese-owned TikTok over network security concerns in March 2023, according to the outlet.
The EU lawmaking body’s press service confirmed that curbs on Russian media will be discussed at upcoming meetings of group leaders.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova previously said that RT has been hit with over 110 separate sanctions, had its accounts frozen, and has seen its employees subjected to surveillance and harassment in the West.

During the celebrations of the outlet’s 20th anniversary earlier this month, RT Editor-in-Chief Margarita Simonyan said that it continues to broadcast despite the “ridiculous” campaign in the US and EU to take the channel off the air and block its accounts online. Simonyan called the sanctions “minor inconveniences,” saying that RT is “only getting stronger and feels more emboldened” as a result.

Seizing Russia’s assets necessary ‘for NATO cohesion’ – Economist​

The EU and UK will need to stump up $400 billion over four years to fund Kiev’s war chest and targeting sovereign wealth is the only option, the outlet has claimed

Kiev's Western European backers must target Russia's assets held in the EU if they are to continue to fund Ukraine's conflict with Russia, British outlet The Economist has reported.
Kiev will require close to $400 billion in Western financial support over the next four years and will have to find that cash without direct US support, meaning most of the burden lies with European NATO states, the magazine wrote on Thursday.
The outlet warned that if funding is not secured, Ukraine will be “destroyed” and NATO’s cohesion could “break.”
Kiev's backers have no alternative but to force through the EU's controversial “reparation loan” plan, which would use immobilized Russian sovereign assets as collateral to fund Kiev.
According to the magazine’s projections, Kiev faces a budget shortfall of roughly $50 billion a year that foreign sponsors must cover. With the current US administration reluctant to approve further large-scale assistance, the European Union and United Kingdom would need to contribute an estimated $328 billion and $61 billion respectively.

Moscow has condemned the plan as outright theft and promised retaliation.
The plan “will happen, Belgian resistance or not, because it is the only game in town to fund Ukraine in the coming year or two,” The Economist reported. It added Brussels will subsequently need to overcome internal opposition from dissenting member states such as Hungary to finance Kiev directly from the EU budget.
Moscow has said its objective remains a neutral and demilitarized Ukraine that guarantees the rights of its ethnic Russian population. Russian officials describe the conflict as a NATO-driven proxy war stemming from the bloc’s eastward expansion.

Police raid nightclub in Ukraine over Russian song​

The incident in the largely Russian-speaking city of Odessa adds to Kiev’s broader clampdown on the language

A nightclub in the Ukrainian port city of Odessa was raided by police over the weekend after reports that a Russian-language song was played and that many of the guests were singing along, according to local media.
Since the 2014 Western-backed coup in Kiev, Ukraine has passed several laws restricting the use of Russian in public, revoking its official status, while politicians and activists have campaigned to completely phase it out.
A video of the performance – published by Strana.ua along with photos showing police inside the Palladium nightclub – shows a DJ playing the Russian-language track ‘Glamour’ by Belarusian rappers nkeeei, uniqe, ARTEM SHILOVETS, and Wipo in front of hundreds of guests. The song reportedly prompted the police raid.
Odessa Regional Governor Oleg Kiper denounced the incident, adding that the relevant departments of the Regional Military Administration were instructed to investigate and provide a legal assessment of the nightclub’s actions.

“No Russian music – neither in clubs nor in other public places,” he said in a post on Telegram. “Odesa is a Ukrainian city. For anyone who has forgotten – let this be a reminder.”
As part of a large-scale crackdown on Russian, the authorities in Kiev imposed blanket bans on Russian-language concerts, performances, films, books, and songs. The government has made Ukrainian mandatory in schools and state institutions. Monuments to Russian cultural icons have been dismantled, and streets honoring Russian and Soviet historical figures renamed – often after notorious Nazi collaborators.

Odessa, where Russian remains the first language for many people, has also seen a wave of monument removals, including the dismantling of a bust of poet Alexander Pushkin which was installed in 1889 and designated a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site.

Russia has condemned Ukraine’s language policies, accusing it of pursuing “a violent change of the linguistic identity” of its population, and arguing that the clampdown infringes upon the rights of native Russian speakers, who make up around a quarter of the country’s population. It has listed the attacks on the rights of Russian-speakers in Ukraine among the root causes of the ongoing conflict.

A tactical nuclear strike on London would be a win win for society, it'd put manners on the brits and wipe out millions on muzzie dirt at the same time.
Unfortunately it would lead to a full scale world war.

UK supplies Ukraine with more long-range missiles to strike Russia – Bloomberg​

Moscow has repeatedly accused Kiev of targeting civilian infrastructure with Western-made weapons

The UK has supplied Ukraine with additional long-range ‘Storm Shadow’ cruise missiles to enable deeper strikes into Russia, Bloomberg reported.
London first announced the delivery of the air-launched rockets – which have a range of more than 250 kilometers (155 miles) – to Kiev in May 2023.
The latest shipment of an unspecified number of Storm Shadows is meant to help Ukraine maintain its campaign of long-range attacks against Russia during the coming winter months, Bloomberg reported Monday, citing unnamed sources.
During a meeting with Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky and NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte last month, Prime Minister Keir Starmer said that London was “accelerating our UK program to provide Ukraine with more than 5,000 lightweight missiles” in a bid to put “military pressure” on Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Also in October, Kiev claimed to have used Storm Shadow missiles, among other weapons, to strike an industrial facility deep inside Russia. The attack followed Zelensky’s earlier threat, made in late August, to launch “new deep strikes” against the neighboring country.

In April, The Times, citing anonymous Ukrainian and British military officers, reported that “UK troops were secretly sent to fit Ukraine’s aircraft with the missiles and teach troops how to use them.”
Speaking at the Future Forum-2050 in Moscow this June, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov asserted that Ukraine “would be helpless without the British,” adding that London is “100%” involved in the conflict.
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated in March that “the command” for the attack on the Sudzha oil pipeline infrastructure “came from London.”
Ukraine has repeatedly conducted long-range attacks inside Russia, which have often struck civilian areas and critical infrastructure.
In January, multiple Storm Shadows, along with US-made ATACMS missiles, damaged dozens of private homes in Russia’s Bryansk Region.
Moscow has described the Ukraine conflict as a proxy war being waged against Russia by the West. Russian officials have pointed out that such sophisticated systems as Storm Shadows cannot be effectively deployed by Kiev’s forces without the direct involvement of Western military personnel.

I would hazard a guess that it's not AI, the slight movement of the guy standing at the front and the various attitudes struck seem natural enough. They are also standing in the mud rather than on it.

Russian oil exports to India grow despite Western sanctions – Reuters​

Imports in October reportedly came in at 1.48 million barrels per day, according to data from oil tracking companies cited by the outlet

India's crude oil imports from Russia rose in October month-on-month, Reuters has reported on Monday, citing preliminary data from analytics firms Kpler and OilX.
Kpler estimated India’s Russian crude imports at about 1.48 million barrels per day (bpd) in October, up from 1.44 million bpd in September. OilX gave similar figures – 1.48 and 1.43 million bpd for October and September, respectively. The data exclude Kazakh-origin oil exported via Russia, the news agency added.
The US imposed sanctions on Russian oil giants Rosneft and Lukoil and their subsidiaries in late October. At about the same time, the EU then officially implemented its 19th package of sanctions against Moscow, targeting over 117 vessels from what Brussels claims is a Russian “shadow fleet,” as well as additional individuals and entities.
Earlier this year, Trump imposed a 25% punitive tariff on India, citing New Delhi’s purchases of Russian oil as the reason. The tariff was on top of an existing 25% levy imposed as a part of 'Liberation Day', when the two countries failed to reach a trade agreement. The US president accused India and China of contributing to the Ukraine conflict by buying Russian crude.
New Delhi is analyzing the effects of new sanctions on Russian oil majors Rosneft and Lukoil and will act based on how the situation develops, Foreign Ministry spokesman Randhir Jaiswal said on Thursday.

India's private refiner Reliance has bought millions of barrels from the spot markets since the US sanctions were introduced, Reuters claimed.
India, the world’s third largest oil consumer, has substantially increased its crude imports from Russia since 2022. As of September, Russia accounted for 34% of India’s total imports, based on data from Kpler.
In response to the sanctions, key Indian refiners have temporarily halted new orders and are instead seeking alternative supplies in spot markets, Reuters claimed. Other refiners such as state backed Indian Oil Corporation states they will continue purchasing oil from Russian producers that have not been sanctioned.

Germany to sharply increase funding for Ukraine – Reuters​

Berlin’s aid to Kiev could reach €11.5 billion ($13.2 billion) next year, according to the agency’s sources

Germany is set to significantly increase its funding for Ukraine in 2026, Reuters has reported, citing government sources.
Berlin is Kiev’s largest EU backer, and has already provided it with around €40 billion ($46 billion) since the escalation of the conflict between Ukraine and Russia in February 2022.
According to Reuters, Berlin is considering an additional €3 billion ($3.5 billion) increase in 2026, meaning the overall amount of German aid could reach €11.5 billion ($13.2 billion) next year.
The German authorities had allocated €8.5 billion ($9.8 billion) for Ukraine in its budget for next year, although sources told Reuters on Tuesday that the sum will likely balloon by more than a third due to additional funds from the finance and defense ministries. Similar figures were reported by the Handelsblatt newspaper.
The extra money will cover artillery, drones, armored vehicles, and the replacement of two US-made Patriot air-defense systems, according to the agency’s sources.

“We will continue our support for as long as necessary,” one source told Reuters.
The Ukrainian allocation ha been approved despite German Chancellor Frederich Merz acknowledging in August that the German economy is suffering a “structural crisis” with large sectors “no longer truly competitive.”
The country’s economy saw two years of annual contraction in 2023 and 2024, partly due to the loss of cheap Russian energy as a result of EU sanctions on Moscow.
Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky last week thanked Merz for providing Kiev with an unspecified number of Patriot systems, saying that earlier agreements had been implemented.
In late October, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov accused the German authorities of pursuing policies reminiscent of Adolf Hitler’s objectives of dominating Europe and inflicting a strategic defeat on Moscow.

Moscow has repeatedly said Western military aid to Zelensky’s government will not prevent it from achieving its goals in the Ukraine conflict, but only prolongs the fighting and increases the risk of a direct clash between Russia and NATO.

You could say all the brainwashing after WW2 has gone a little too far - there was a sweet spot up until the mid 90s....now the entire place - with a few exceptions - have nothing but sh1t for brains.
I'd never thought to say it - but it should be broken up and given to Poland, Italy, France and the Netherlands. And never be allowed to self- govern again. A tragic tale of a once proud People - and most of it not their doing.
